Who would be allowed?
Everyone who is affected by the decision.

Scare developpers away?
Hmm. If someone can't accept the others (majority). Then he should think of 
doing an ego project.

Looking at David, Waldo, Dirk, coolo ... ... i have no fear at all. They 
manage projects with tons of devloppers in it.  The problem is not there and 
its also not about special people.
It turns all about how should this whole thing go forward. In wich direction.

As u can see. There are lots of Systems outside wich can handle things. Lots 
of them are worse. I think that democratic rules are the lessest worse one.
